| leads and PMC members have a new portal box that provides a way to |
| remove inactive committers. The box currently shows (for each |
| committer) activity information from the commits explorer, election |
| participation, and the length of time the person has been a committer. |
| Inactive committers can be de-committerized or, if they are active but |
| for some reason not showing as active, marked-as-active. <em>(<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/199502">199502</a>)</em> |

| email address used correspond either to a known committer or an |
| existing Bugzilla account. Requiring a known account address solves a |

| used to be driven by hidden internal files; it is now driven by the |
